Kotoko head coach CK Akonnor says the Porcupine Warriors are ready to compete in next year's CAF Confederation Cup.

CK Akonnor has guided his outfit to victories in a couple of friendlies as they are sharpening their rough edges ahead of the competition in Africa.

Kotoko played against Unicorn FC where goals from Martin Antwi and Jordan Opoku won the game for the Kumasi-based club at the Essipong Sports Stadium on Sunday.

After the win, the former AshantiGold gaffer believes his outfit is indeed ready and will make an impact in the CAF Confederations Cup competition.

"It was very good that we played this game, " said Akunnor. "It’s clear for me as a coach that the second game was a little bit better."

"We should be ready for the Confederation Cup game. From what we have seen today, we should do 20 to 30 percent more against Medeama, and then improve more on Sunday against the Togolese club".

"We need to improve in certain areas of the game. I am very hopeful that we would see that on Wednesday, and see the way forward against the Togolese team next Sunday, before the Confederation Cup match itself."

"We have had time to discuss the way forward with the players; how to play with the ball, without the ball and how to move. On the video analyses of our training sessions and games, it seems clear that they understand. It means that we have to work more on the field to exercise, and patiently things would improve".
